How do I get from the airport to my Hotel?
We will arrange a pickup service free of charge at anytime of the day or night to transfer you from the airport to your hotel. You will be met by a Mosaic representative on arrival. If you have booked a trip with us but have arranged to arrive in Kathmandu earlier and do your own thing until the trip starts, we will still pick you up at the airport, you just need to let us know your arrival date and time so we can come and meet you. Kindly look for signage showing the Mosaic Adventure logo or your name. Please note; we recommend that you deal with your own bags at the airport and carry them yourselves. There are people who will offer to carry your bags and will expect payment. You are not obliged to pay these people and it is not advisable to get out your wallet in front of them. Just tell them 'No, thank you!' if someone approaches you and walk away.
What mode of transportation do you use?
We use a comfortable private car or van (depending on group size) with an experienced driver.
What is the best season for this trip?
Monsoon season is best avoided. The best months to take this trip are March, April, May, September, October, November and December.
Are there communication facilities while we are on tour?
Telephone and Internet (wi-fi) facilities will be available whilst you are traveling, in the hotels and many cafes and restaurants offer wi-fi also.
What immunizations will I need?
No vaccinations are mandatory for this trip but we do recommend Typhoid, Tetanus, Meningitis 'C' and Hepatitis 'A'. We also recommend you take a course of anti-malaria tablets. Please take advice from your doctor before traveling.
Is it recommended to get a Nepalese visa in advance or at the airport?
Most people can obtain a visa on entry to Nepal. There are some countries where a visa will need to be obtained prior to traveling (you can find a list of these countries at www.immi.gov.np)
If you want to avoid the sometimes-lengthy queues at the airport, you can obtain a visa from the Nepali embassy in you home country before you travel. Please visit the appropriate websites in your country for details.
If you want to obtain a visa on arrival, you will need to fill in a landing card, (most airlines provide these before landing in Kathmandu, if not, they will be available in the airport) pay a fee (cost differs depending on your length of stay) and provide a passport photo so don’t forget to bring one in your hand luggage to present to the immigration officers. Visa fees are as follows:
US Dollars 25 or other convertible foreign currency equivalent thereto for 15 days multiple entry visa.
US Dollars 40 or other convertible foreign currency equivalent thereto for 30 days multiple entry visa.
US Dollars 100 or other convertible foreign currency equivalent thereto for 90 days multiple entry visa.
(information from the department of immigration, Nepal)
We would advise you to bring US dollars to pay for your visa, most major currencies are usually accepted also. Although there is a currency exchange in the airport (if they will not accept your currency), you may not get the best exchange rate; therefore it is always a safe bet to bring US dollars.
How much money per day do you think I will need? What currency should I take?
The Local currency in Nepal is the rupee. We recommend that you bring US dollars as they are easily exchanged here. Though you may get a lesser rate on traveler’s cheques, we suggest you to carry a mixture of both. We recommend between US$20 and US$30 per day to cover your meals and drinks, although your meals are included in Chitwan. You will need to bring extra for any shopping and extra excursions you may wish to do. Please note that you cannot exchange Nepali Rupees outside Nepal.
What clothes should I wear?
When you are in Chitwan and taking jungle walks and elephant safaris, you need to wear long sleeves and long trousers in a dark color. Do not wear red. There is no strict dress code in Nepal but please dress conservatively when visiting holy places and temples, i.e. cover shoulders and wear long trousers/skirts.
Will the guide be with us for the duration of the trip?
Yes, he will be with you to offer his expertise during your stay. He will also leave you whenever you need some time for yourselves but can be easily contacted when you want to meet him again. The cost of the trip includes all his expenses.
These are the questions we are often asked and we hope that you will find the answers useful. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any further queries.
